I would like to share some KENO strategies and get some feedback on filters some of you use.

Recently I found that in my 10/20/80 NY pick 10 game, 5-7 mirror numbers hit in the following drawing, when I say "mirror" I'm saying 1=41 2=42 etc. It is common to assume that 12-16 numbers from the last 3 drawings will hit, 5-9 of them being repeats. Also "flags" or adjacent numbers are common, althought the number of them fluctuates in such a way as to not be a very reliable indicator, but they do occur often.

Now here's the deal...what I usually end up with is 35-40 numbers that I can almost bank on having at least 10 winners contained within using these filters. But that is still too many to wheel affordably. I am looking for another filter to eliminate 10-20 numbers with. I am thrilled to have the field cut in half consistently! If I have a group of 40 or so it is imperative that I don't eliminate any of the winners or else the wheel would be a bust.

I do $200 wheels on the computer for fun and always win theoretical prizes, but am too chicken and lazy to play all those games!

Here is my keno advice, if you don't hit on the first draw, run away. This is the best advice you will ever get on keno. If you don't hit on that first bet, run, run fast, run away. If you follow this rule you will be ahead of the game. I have found this out by trial and error, if you are going to hit it will be from the get go. Once you hit on the first draw, leave with your winnings, do not try to grow your winnings! If it is going to happen, it will happen on the first draw.

The reason for this, is that it is computerized and designed to pay depending on the number of players and time of day. If you bet, and don't hit, it wasn't your turn, and you are in the wrong line. Come back to play another day. Patience is the key with this game, play at times of the day when the most people are playing, days of the week when people are out playing etc. But never sit there and play more than 1 draw and expect to come out ahead, keno will hook you and not let go until it has your last penny. The trick is to hit the bait, take it, and be happy, if you don't hit it, there is always tommorrow.

No Amazing Grace I have never tried that, can you explain it in more detail? I would appreciate it a lot! it sounds right up my alley.

Now Jerasan, I'm not sure if I have your name right, I can't see the page, but I'm playing the daily pick 10 not quick draw...the daily uses balls and quick draw is computerized...I don't play everyday but I do track and work the numbers daily and I am waiting for my system to get more consistant and reliable ha! But you know there is no substitute for JUST PICKING THE RIGHT NUMBERS!!

Share your thoughts, when i have a chance to play keno i usually do so share some Strats, and everyone else can, and lets report back on strats ,

I have a chance to play next week so some tips would be cool.

Tks Lets go Get em!

Well Amazing Grace, I watch the numbers religiously and follow the patterns like I described in the original post, the mirror number thing is a new development and I back-tested for about 15 draws and it is rock solid. It does mean something when you can eliminate half the numbers - picking 10 of 40 instead of 10 of 80 is super cool BUT, it ain't easy - more need to be eliminated into an affordable wheel amount. I don't know what the stats are for your game,but the gail howard rules are pretty close for all state kenos... approx. 5 repeat...12-16 in last 3 draws and 4-6 out more than 3 games.

Right now I don't know if I should focus on eliminating or picking better...

By sharing Your ideas with us we can then improve the game for you to win.But you need to give us more details so we can develop a better system for you to win with.

Pick 10 draws 20 numbers of 80 every day. of those 20, 4-6 are repeats from the last drawing...10-14 are numbers that hit in the last 3 drawings, and 5-7 are numbers out more than 3 games or "cold" numbers. Since I only need to Pick 10...I focus on the last 3 draws.

Adjacent numbers hit often so, if 42 hits I would play 43 or 41 or both maybe.

Recently I looked at mirror numbers. The mirror numbers of the field are 1=41 2=423=43 10=50 20=60 and so on...5-7 of these "mirror" numbers hit everyday. So I look at the mirror numbers for yesterdays draw and see that 3, 6, 7 and 15 hit, for example, so their mirror numbers 43 46 47 and 55 will be in my groups of potential hits.

The thing I am looking for is another filter to cut down my potential hit group. When you gather the #s from the last 3 games and the mirrors and potential adjacent hits, you get 37-40 numbers. 10 winners are in that group, (sometimes more!) I just need another way to weed out the 23-30 numbers that are not going to hit. I have cut the field in half and I know there is a way to cut it more, I am just out of ideas right now.

OK that is 43 numbers...I can assure you with absolute certainty that at the very least 9 winning numbers will be in this group...yesterday my group had 12 winners, the day before 9, day before that 10, day before that 12...so you see this way of looking at the numbers has advantages-my goal as I said is to get rid of the non-winners from my group of 43 there so I can wheel a tight wheel and win baby some new shoes!

One thing I should mention-the group above of the last 3 draws will contain even more winners than my group of 43, but the mirrors and adjacent hit group includes cold numbers too, so I cut the number of potential hits down to 43 instead of 57. You lose a few but get a smaller group to worry about.

I have a sheet with 1-80 copied over and over so I can track the hits for a 1 month period at a time. Visual patterns emerge but are misleading a lot of the time. That is my only "speadsheet" . What else can I tell ya?

Hey Pilot, I thought you were talking about the every three minutes keno like in a casino. I didn't realize they have daily 1 draw keno style game (aka Pick 10) in N.Y. Sorry about the misguided interjection. In MD. we have a every 3 min keno game you can go and play at the local beer/wine, bar, gas station, or wherever every 3 min.. On this one you can win up to 1MIL. with the bonus. Anyway good luck!
